Area of study

Engineering and IT

As a professional chemical engineer, you design, operate and manage the processes that transform materials into everyday products in key areas such as oil and gas, minerals processing, plastics, food processing and pharmaceuticals manufacturing.

As a civil and structural professional engineer, you will continuously be challenging traditional construction methods with creativity and innovation helping design and manage structures for the modern world. Your studies will focus on developing sustainable and ethical civil and structural solutions in areas such as structural engineering, water and its uses and the principles of sustainability.

As a professional engineer in the electrical and electronics industry, you are responsible for the design, automation and control of the devices which make modern life convenient. You are involved in electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications and power generation and distribution, including renewable energy. You will develop skills in communication methods, electronic control systems and power engineering, together with a background of sustainable engineering principles.

As a professional mechanical engineer, you are involved in the design and build of large and small devices which improve transport, and provide affordable manufacturing and production solutions. Key areas include mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines.

Your studies will provide a sound base of fundamental engineering principles, followed by advanced specialist knowledge of the theory and practice of chemical, civil and structural, electrical and electronics or mechanical engineering. The course specifically offers extensive hands on practical experience, which will help you in your future career as a professional engineer.

In addition to the specific engineering knowledge, essential engineering skills including innovation, creativity, research, management, teamwork and leadership are features of the course.

This course was developed in consultation with and is supported by industry leaders. You graduate with a sound foundation of engineering knowledge which directly aligns with international industry requirements.

Essential requirements

English language requirements

All HE applicants are required to demonstrate the minimum English language proficiency requirements for their chosen course of study. These entry requirements will normally be met by undertaking previous education in an English speaking country or obtaining a minimum International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score.

Where applicable, international applicants must also satisfy the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) English language proficiency (ELP) requirements for student visa applications.

ATAR profile

The following table represents the ATAR and selection rank profile for applicants offered a place on the basis of their ATAR in semester 1, 2017

Course structure

The first year of study introduces foundation engineering skills common to and necessary for all areas of engineering. This provides a broad background useful for all students, before they go on to specialise in their chosen area of engineering.

Subsequent years build on the foundation of the first year to provide specific learning appropriate to the chosen specialisation. The final year includes a design project and a thesis, both of which are capstone units intended to bring together all the learning of the previous years and prepare students for careers as professional engineers.

As well as being offered on campus for internal students, this course is also available externally by distance learning for those who are not able to attend classes on campus on a regular basis. Distance learning requires reliable broadband internet access and on campus attendance at residential sessions for one week per semester of full-time study.

Honours calculation Units used to define the Honours level gained are successfully completed ENG720 (40cp), ENG405 plus the last three successfully completed ENG4XX core or specialist elective units of the specialist stream chosen by the student.

Total Credit Points

Students who commenced in or after 2013 The grade of "PC" cannot be counted towards a Bachelor of Honours AQF Level 8 course award. Students should refer to the current Grading Policy and Common Course Rules for further information.

Course Changes and Transitional Arrangements - 2016

ENG154 has been replaced by a specialist unit in each of the streams: Chemical Engineering - ENG248 Civil and Structural Engineering - ENG368 Electrical and Electronics Engineering - ENG227 Mechanical Engineering - ENG338

Students who have not completed ENG154 should complete either ENG227 or ENG248 or ENG338 or ENG368 as the appropriate specialist elective for their chosen stream. Students who have completed ENG154 should not complete any of the units listed above. Students who have completed ENG315 should not complete any of the units listed above.

ENG406 has been moved from core (from BENGH) to a specialist elective, depending on stream.

Study plan

Students commencing in Semester 1

The Recommended Study Plan provided below is suitable for a student commencing in semester 1 and enrolling in a standard load. Students entering this course with advanced standing, or wishing to reduce or vary their study plan due to work, personal, financial or other reasons should use the table as a guide to create an individual study plan.

When designing an individual study plan: ♦ ensure Common Units are completed in the first year of study; ♦ maintain the basic order in which units are to be attempted; and ♦ check the assumed knowledge for each unit as some 200 and 300 level units assume you have completed foundation unit/s in the subject area at a lower level. 200 level units have the unit code which includes a number starting with 200.
